ITINERARY IN DETAIL:

Meet us at the pier in front of Cuu Long Hotel in Vinh Long. The crew welcomes you on board with cold towels and a refreshing drink while your Cai Be Princess sampan sets off for its leisurely cruise on the busy waterways. Cross the Co Chien River, one of the original nine estuaries branching off from the Mekong in the Delta before entering Dong Phu Canal. Cruise past the islands of An Binh and Binh Hoa Phuoc, famous for their fruit orchards. Observe from the comfort of your sampan life as it plays out on the riverbanks  -  the  people,  the  stunning  landscapes  -  while your attentive crew serves you tea and seasonal fruit. We continue  cruising  along  narrow  canals  past  hidden unspoiled  landscapes  and  lush  greenery  while  observing  the activity along the banks. Visit an ancient house built in the 19th century. When you arrive at Cai Be, you’ll notice that boat traffic reaches its peak amidst unceasing activity on the river. Your Cai Be Princess sampan easily navigates past houses on stilts and barges laden with fruit, vegetables, consumer goods and other products. Continue towards Phu An Hamlet and make a stop at local workshops to observe the traditional process of making puffed  rice  and  coconut  candies,  handicrafts  that provide  a living for the river people. Your cruise ends at Le Longanier Restaurant. Lunch is served in this exquisite colonial-style villa set in a lush tropical garden by the river, surrounded by fruit trees, giving you a sense of life during Indochinese times. After lunch, at around 2:30 pm, take a short walkalong a small canal back to Ba Bon Bridge where your personal vehicle awaits to drive you to Ho Chi Minh City.
